Strongest Mage with the Lust system-Chapter 782: Corpses Everywhere

Max shook his head, which made Ashroth's heart drop, but when he heard what he said, he calmed down a little.

"I don't know and don't want to think about it. I'll just go and see it for myself."

Though his close relation with the little Arya's family, the presence of Garima, and especially his maternal grandmother assured him somewhat of his family's safety, he wasn't sure if the elven emperors there would have bothered to save a human family.

And while he thought Garima might have some life-preserving items or techniques, he wasn't sure if she was able to save others. Lastly, his granny, because she was injured, might not have wanted to drain herself to save others.

He could be right or wrong. This was why he didn't want to think about whether someone had saved his family or not. He would just go there and see the situation for himself.

"I'll come with you." Ashroth said,

"Okay." Max agreed without hesitation before asking, "Now, where is that teleportation formation?"

"Come with me." Ashroth said, walking over to the stairs leading to the underground floor.

…

Shua!

Out of nowhere, two figures suddenly appeared in the sky just fifty miles south of Zexin City—the city where Max first encountered Neer, Little Ruo, and her grandfather.

Just as they were about to plummet toward the ground, large, bat wings appeared behind one of them, and he started hovering in the sky before taking a plunge and grabbing the other figure.

These two were none other than Max and Ashroth.

"Where are we?" Ashroth asked, looking around.

Max furrowed his brows in displeasure because Ashroth was holding him with one hand by his collar.

Grabbing his hand, he pulled himself up and put his hand around Ashroth's shoulder before looking around.

"Sorry about that. I did it unconsciously." Ashroth apologized.

"It's alright." Max casually accepted his apology, knowing he really didn't mean to disrespect him like that.

"I'm unfamiliar with this area. Let's move toward the north. Maybe I will recognize some place." Max said after a short while.

Ashroth gave him a 'Really, man?' look, to which Max calmly said, "I'm not well-traveled, nor am I familiar with the geography, even though I have lived somewhere nearby. So, it's nothing strange that I can't recognize this place."

Ashroth didn't say anything in response and just sighed before flying north as instructed. Soon, they came across Zexin City, which Max immediately recognized. When he saw how eerily silent it was and saw countless dried corpses lying on the roads and streets, killing intent flashed in his eyes.

When they flew over Claymore Town and Max didn't see many corpses, he felt complicated. He remembered how he informed the people that demons were attacking villages and towns and that everyone should leave for the Royal Capital if they wanted to survive. Though most people seemed to have left, he knew they were all dead now.

Ashroth noticed his expression but didn't say anything and continued flying in the direction of the Ninam City.

Two hours later, they arrived at Ninam City, and upon seeing people standing in groups, talking in low voices with fearful expressions on their faces, they sighed in relief, feeling their anxious hearts relax.

"It seems the emperors here controlled the situation." He said, feeling grateful to the ones who saved the population.

He was about to fly into the city directly but felt several strong auras sweep over him. Knowing if he continued, they would be attacked, he flew down and landed outside the city gate.

Without wasting time, he took out his communication crystal and sent Amara a message.

'Little Amara, are you alright?'

The three seconds he didn't receive her reply felt like eternity to him, and his heart had almost stopped beating.

'Reply, little Amara, please…' He waited anxiously, almost crushing the communication crystal in his hands. When it vibrated three seconds after he sent her the message and her voice sounded in his ears, he felt his body become weightless as relief washed over him.

'I'm fine, big brother. Are you nearby? I miss you.'

His eyes became wet, but there was a bright smile on his lips as he sent her a message back. 'Yeah, I'm nearby. Big brother misses you a lot too.'

While Ashroth talked to his little sister, Max's heart was beating so fast that it almost leapt out of his chest.

The bad feeling he had became even more prominent because when he was in the air, he noticed the Garfield Mansion was in ruins and there was blood everywhere.

Swoosh!

Unable to wait for Commander Ryan, Lord Raku, or anyone else to invite him into the city, he rushed in.
